About Me

I've owned my quilt shop since 1990, specializing in antique reproduction fabrics. Made my first quilt in 1976 which greatly reduced my sewing of clothing! Would like to find more time to SEW.......maybe when I retire? Am married to a farmer, have 3 children and 4 grandchildren who are the light of my life!!!

Stars Caught Up by Accident!!

Loved this week's colors (not too many I don't like, actually)! The first photo is my "bronze" selections, tho now I think points of the first star are too green! That fabric is the reverse side of an old primitive print....a case where I like the back better than the front! The next one is a color combination of light bronze brown, tan/gold that we often see in late 19th century quilts.I think the golden brown with the green leaves and red berries qualifies as a bronze as well as the darker one beside it. Why is this font "bold"? No idea!

Now for the greenish-brown Manganese.....please excuse the crookedness....working on a different laptop that doesn't have the nice Edit program on it!

And another Manganese that seems to also be a Cretonne print, which is this week's fabric less from Barbara Brackman's Stars in a Time Warp! So, by accident, I am caught up!

A few bolts of Margo Krager's "Polychromes" are here but will wait to photograph until after I remove the plastic. Jo Morton's "Isabella" is due this month also.Please note that the shop will be closed the week of Sep 23,24,25,26 for a vacation with my granddaughter. September/October have always been favorite months ever since I was a child....loved Fall even then! And I loved going back to the school routine! Here is another poem-of-the-month that my fifth-grade teacher, Marguerite Fitzsimmons, had us memorize....this was the first.

Fall has always been my favorite, too. Your many stars fit right into the season.Oh, the Alice's Scrapbag line looks like a luscious collection!We had to memorize poems in 5th grade, too! I only recall parts of three of them now.

We must have had to memorize 9, but I remember only Sep, Oct and Dec........the Loooooong "Night Before Christmas"! Wish I could dive into the FQ bundle tonight but have too many things going already.......need to see a "Finish" of something soon!! LOL

your stars are yummy! I thought of you as soon as she announced the bronze type. And that poem is lovely. I too wonder what the one day is. Maybe she had a loved one in the war. Antietam was in September. Hope I can make it up on Thursday!
